Lead(IV) acetate or lead tetraacetate is an metalorganic compound with chemical formula Pb(C2H3O2)4. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in nonpolar, organic solvents, indicating that it is not a salt. It is degraded by moisture and is typically stored with additional acetic acid. The compound is used in organic synthesis. [2]
Structure
In the solid state the lead(IV) centers are coordinated by four acetate ions, which are bidentate, each coordinating via two oxygen atoms. The lead atom is 8 coordinate and the O atoms form a flattened trigonal dodecahedron. [3]
Preparation
It is typically prepared by treating of red lead with acetic acid and acetic anhydride (Ac2O), which absorbs water. The net reaction is shown: [4] [5]
- Pb3O4 + 4 Ac2O → Pb(OAc)4 + 2 Pb(OAc)2
The remaining lead(II) acetate can be partially oxidized to the tetraacetate by Cl2, with a PbCl2 by-product:
- 2 Pb(OAc)2 + Cl2 → Pb(OAc)4 + PbCl2
Reagent in organic chemistry
Lead tetraacetate is a strong oxidizing agent, [6] a source of acetyloxy groups, and a general reagent for the preparation of organolead compounds. Some of its many uses in organic chemistry:
- Acetoxylation of benzylic, allylic, [7] and α-oxygen ether C−H bonds, for example the conversion of dioxane to 2-acetoxy-1,4-dioxane [8]
- An alternative reagent to bromine in Hofmann rearrangement [9]
- Dehydrogenation of hydrazones and hydrazines, for example that of hexafluoroacetone hydrazone to bis(trifluoromethyl)diazomethane [10] [11]
- Cleavage of α-hydroxy acids [12] or 1,2- diols to their corresponding aldehydes or ketones, often replacing ozonolysis; for instance, the oxidation of di-n-butyl D- tartrate to n-butyl glyoxylate. [13]
- Reaction with alkenes to form γ- lactones
- Oxidation of alcohols carrying a δ-proton to cyclic ethers. [14]
- Oxidative cleavage of certain allyl alcohols in conjunction with ozone: [15] [16]
- Transformation of 1,2-dicarboxylic acids or cyclic anhydrides to alkenes
- Conversion of acetophenones to phenyl acetic acids [17]
- Decarboxylation of carboxylic acids to alkyl halides in the Kochi reaction [18]
Safety
Lead(IV) acetate is toxic. It is a neurotoxin. It affects the gum tissue, central nervous system, kidneys, blood, and reproductive system.
